I have just completed a Boston Block Front chest (Glen Huey's interpretation/plans) in cherry. I will stain the piece using aniline dyes. How should I handle the drawer ends? I do not want to destroy the contrast of the dovetails of the cherry drawer fronts and poplar drawer sides - I want the dovetails to pop. So how do I handle the staining of the ends? Do I not stain the ends at all? Or do I stain just an 1/8" inside the edge or what? This drawer front has no lipped drawer front profile, it is flush with the drawer blade. The drawer opening has applied cock beads. Thanks for any input.
